The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge walked arm-in-arm against a stunning coastal backdrop on the second day of their official royal tour, visiting Teagasc Animal and Grassland Research Centre in County Meath earlier today. 

In brilliant winter sunshine, the husband and wife couple followed the trail to the summit of Howth Cliff, a popular tourist spot east of central of Dublin that attracts thousands of visitors every year. 

They hugged as they posed for a picture, before meeting Irish environment minister Richard Bruton, who said: 'They remarked on how you couldn't come to Ireland and not see the coastline so they got their wish. And they saw it in a benign light, normally there is a wind howling - it's really beautiful today, they couldn't be luckier.'

William stopped to take a selfie with Jennifer Malone, who gave him a bunch of daffodils for his wife.

Philip Stynes, owner of the store, admitted he had told a few customers about the royal visit on Tuesday night and word soon spread around the village.

He added: 'It just snowballed from there. But even if we hadn't told them there would have been a big crowd. People live out on the streets here.'

Before they set off, the Cambridges inspected the fridge with the youngsters and checked the ingredients needed for the soup - all designed to teach the children life skills.

William said: 'There's only one leek. Do we have to stick to the menu?'

He then told the others in the kitchen: 'We're going to shop for you. We'll be back in a minute. We'll bring back all the wrong ingredients.'

Later, the couple played a game of table tennis with other young people who are supported by Savannah House, a respite centre run by social justice charity Extern.

The duchess quipped about their cocker spaniel, Lupo: 'We try to do this at home but our dog keeps catching the ping pong balls.'

The Cambridges asked the children about whether they cook at home and what food they like.

As they washed and peeled carrots, Kate asked: 'Do you cook any vaguely healthy things?'

William asked the boys if they like pancakes, following Shrove Tuesday last week, and added: 'I tried to get my children to eat pancakes but they weren't so interested this year. Maybe next year.'

Before the couple left they sat down with another group of children to help decorate bunting with their own personal messages on what they like about Savannah House.

The exercise was designed to make them take ownership of the centre and help them feel at home on their return visits, often for family therapy.

Extern supports more than 20,000 people per year, including 3,500 children in Ireland and 6,500 in Northern Ireland, affected by issues such as homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, offending and mental health problems.

Its chief executive Charlie Mack said: 'The children we support are truly inspirational and Extern is committed to providing them with the opportunity to discover strengths and abilities they never knew they had.'
